Summary:Mobile phones are always with us and are great for following sports action when we are out and about. ScoreMobile was updated for the iPhone and iPod touch and is an excellent application for sports fans.

I grew up playing sports and am a fan of competitions around the world. I have a few sports apps on my iPhone, including ESPN ScoreCenter, CBS Sports, NFL Mobile, RWC 2011, and MLS MatchDay. Thus, I was pleased to hear of the release of the new ScoreMobile app for the iPhone that was released this week as it gives you access to lots of detailed stats with social networking integration.

I have used ScoreMobile on various other devices, I particularly like it on Windows Phone, and immediately installed this new version on my iPhone 4S. I quickly added my favorite NFL, MLS, MLB, and NCAA basketball teams (all local here to Washington State) and started checking out the application. As a youth soccer coach and father to three daughters I am a bit disappointed that there are not more women's sports in the app and am primarily looking for NCAA basketball and soccer so hopefully some of these sports get added in the future.

I like that you can simply tap the S button in the upper left to jump right to your My Score part of the application. I will be testing out the live stats functionality during tonight's Seattle Seahawks game. According to the press release, here are the features of this new iOS ScoreMobile App:
